UNION CITY — In July 2014, teens and church members from around the country will be traveling to Costa Rica to provide help, hope and minister to families in need.Never the Same Missions offers the opportunity to spread the gospel to schools, orphanages and poverty stricken neighborhoods through projects such as painting, cleaning homes and streets, washing windows and much more.KaytLyn Bond, 12, of Union City will be attending the missions trip along with her mother Angel. They will fly into Ft. Lauderdale Florida where they will meet with the other missionaries. They will spend two-and-a-half days preparing an evangelistic drama "Spellbound Toymaker and Son." The teams will learn spanish phrases that will help with the language barrier.Bond first heard about this trip through her church, Church of the Nazarene, and decided this was a great opportunity."We will help families with what they need, help make them feel better about where they live and show them that people love them," said Angel.The cost for the trip is $2,500 and therefore the family is hosting a "Back Yard Family Movie Night" for the public."We have had amazing support so far and love our communities for the support they have shown," said Angel.The fundraising event will be held on September 21 at 7:00 p.m. with the movies beginning at dark.Guests will enjoy a drive-inn movie experience at 302 Charlotte St. in Union City.The family friendly movies include "Turbo" and "Soul Surfer".
